Giant carbonate oil fields in Brazilian pre-salt area present a high level of heterogeneity. Despite the fact that geoscientists aim at modelling these complex models in a high-block cell resolution, it is important to reduce the computational effort…
Project managements of oil and gas industry involves development of robust system that is able to integrate many skill professionals to work smoothly and together in the said project fields. This process is challenged by the ground reality as project…
Under the present conditions of oil and gas production, which are characterized by mature production fields and the focus shifted towards digitalization of production processes and use of machine learning (ML) models, the issues related to the…
The traditional petroleum reservoir modeling workflow for reservoir characterization, history matching, and field development optimization requires a significant amount of computation during reservoir simulation and post-processing. In this work, we…
Kashagan oil field has been under production since September 2016. The produced oil is associated with considerable amounts of sour gas that must be processed or disposed of while minimizing flaring. This paper will focus on the methodology for field…
Optimization in the production of oil comprises various processes to measure, analyze, model, prioritize, and implementation to enhance productivity of a field, reservoir, well, or surface. It is a practice to ensure recovery of developed reserves…
Robust inferences on understanding the reservoir heterogeneity and processes of the respective petroleum system are essential to reduce risks throughout the petroleum exploration and development phases. In this paper we present integrated static…
Imperfect determination of petroleum system processes coincidence, entrapment and charge timing, along with reservoir heterogeneity can considerably cause high risks throughout exploration and development phases of petroleum. Therefore, a complete…
An important requirement of reservoir management is to understand the properties of reservoir fluids and dependent phase behaviors. This makes it possible to determine the properties of reservoir fluids in laboratory pressure-volume-temperature (PVT)…
The decision analysis process to develop a petroleum field can be very complex. This process contemplates a set of tasks, which include the study of various representative scenarios, and different production strategies that aid decision-making.…
Flow assurance has been a major problem in the development of a heavy oil field. It is not common that this issue has a multiplier effect from reservoir up to processing facilities, reducing productivity and in turn, increasing financial burden. Many…
